Issue
After a valid door unlock, Continuum, by default, turns off the door lock output one second after the door opens when a door switch is used. How can this sequence be modified?
Environment
ACX
AC1
Cause
Due to the locking hardware used, sometimes it is necessary to make sure the door is closed before energizing the maglock.
Resolution
Use a Plain English program as follows:
' File Name: LONGLOCK.TXT
' Program name: LongLockProgram
'
' This program keeps the door strike energized until after the door
' closes. This is needed for certain types of door hardware. Normally,
' the door strike is de-energized 1 second after the door is physically
' opened.
'
' Flowtype: Looping, Autostart
1:
If Door1 ValidAccess is On then Goto 3
If Door1 ExitRequest is On then Goto 2
2:
If Door1 DoorSwitch is Opened then Goto 3
If TS > Door1 DoorStrikeTime then Goto 1 ' in case the door doesn't get opened
3:
Door1 = UnLocked
If Door1 DoorSwitch is Closed then Goto 4
If TS > 60 then Goto 4 ' safety
4:
If TS >=1 then
Door1 = Locked
Goto 1
